WE7FVP No. 2 lake - Extend grass buffer. Diversify scrub management to enhance views.

This lake has developed significantly in the time since previous plans and now has a vigorous and diverse fringe of emergent and marginal vegetation, and a developing reed bed. Allowing this to develop has enhanced the wildlife and amenity value of the lake.

Extending the grass buffer and diversifying scrub management will allow any birds, insects or plants to have a larger area to forage and commute whilst having some form of cover where the scrub is. Diversifying scrub management by developing areas of lesser and greater height will not only provide micro-niches of habitats but also create viewing areas into the pond.
